Speaking of strange, arent the Italian editions the one with the 
really weird covers?  IIRC, the Italian cover of SS/PS has a giant 
mouse growing out of Harrys head, and there is something weird about 
at least one of the other Italian covers.  Does anyone who reads 
Italian have any insights about this?  Did the Italian illustrators 
forget to read the books, or are they on drugs?  Are the 
illustrations inside the book more accurate?
